Stop Lot J Incentives in Jacksonville
Stop Lot J Incentives in Jacksonville
Why this petition matters
Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry has announced that the city of Jacksonville, Florida will give $233.3 million in incentives to developers associated with billionaire, Shad Khan. The money will be used to help turn a parking lot outside TIAA Bank Field into a complex featuring a new hotel, luxury condos, and an entertainment complex. The deal also gives several acres of real estate to developers for free with few guarantees about what actually will get built.
Meanwhile, Jacksonville's schools are deteriorating and need to be replaced. Agencies to help our sizeable homeless population are having city funding cut, and we are experiencing a devastating uptick in violent crime.
Keeping the Jacksonville Jaguars shouldn't come at the cost of taking care of our citizens. Conservative or progressive we can all agree that the city should be spending the taxpayers' money wisely. That is why we are asking the Jacksonville City Council and Downtown Investment Authority to REJECT Mayor Curry's proposed incentive package.
